When the teaching of the Heart Sutra first occurred, its fearless proclamation of emptiness was so powerful that several highly realized disciples died of heart attacks. Yet today we can read it without missing a beat. More easily read than understood, the Heart Sutra proclaims the lion’s roar of complete egolessness. In his talk, Ven. Changling Rinpoche will explain how the teachings of pure appearance and the true nature of phenomena help us to understand the nature of equality - the perfection of prajnaparamita.

Bio
In 1985, Changling Rinpoche was recognized by both Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and Penor Rinpoche as the main tulku of Changchub Ling Nyingmapa Monastery in Central Tibet. Rinpoche was enthroned at the age of ten and admitted into Shechen Monastery in Nepal, where he received teachings and transmissions from Dilgo Khyentse Rinpoche and ordination from Trulshik Rinpoche. The Changling tulkus have been associated with the Nyingma lineage known as Northern Treasures for almost seven hundred years.
Rinpoche’s youthful enthusiasm combined with his amazing knowledge of Buddhist doctrine make his teachings an enriching experience for all.
